North China
North China has the most productive oil and gas producing basins in the country, including Songliao, Bohai and Ordos. The principal reservoirs in these basins are Mesozoic and Cenozoic clastics, although recent exploration for gas has been successful in carbonates, such as from Ordovician targets in Ordos and Bohai. The complex tectonic evolution of many of the basins in North China, however, is not fully understood, and models to assess variations in subsurface carbonate reservoirs are not well established. This region is designated to form the hub for China’s subsurface carbon dioxide storage programme.
